The George Washington University Law School has added a new Journal of Energy and Environmental Law, the first issue of which was published in July (Summer 2010 issue). The Journal focuses on the intersections among energy, environment and climate. It is published in collaboration with the Environmental Law Institute and distributed to subscribers of Environmental Reporter News & Analysis, allowing authors to reach a professional audience in addition to the traditional law review audience. Some of you may find this an attractive audience for your scholarship. The Journal's Call for Articles follows:

The George Washington University Journal of Energy and Environmental Law (JEEL) is calling for full length articles for its spring issue. Articles should address topics that explore critical issues at the intersection of energy, environment and climate. We are particularly interested in articles addressing international treaties, legislative initiatives in other countries, U.S. federal and state legislation, and case law developments dealing with issues such as:

•energy generation and distribution with a special focus on renewable and distributed sources; •facility siting, including transmission infrastructure; •mechanisms for enhancing energy efficiency in all use sectors; •public benefit funds, net metering requirements, renewable portfolio standards and other forms of utility regulation; •implementation of a “smart grid;” •climate change and carbon sequestration; •air and water pollution issues related to energy generation; •water use and water conservation related to energy production; •land use questions; •assessment of the environmental impacts of energy production and energy-intensive activities; and •resource extraction

JEEL is published twice each year as a supplement to ELI’s Environmental LawReporter (ELR) News & Analysis. Articles must be submitted by September 20, 2010 to: gwjeel@gmail.com.
